CLOSET-SEAT COVER.

sPEcuIcA'rIoN forming part of Letters Patent No. 746,111, dated DeceniberS, 1903.

Application filed May 24, 1901. Serial No. 61.682. (N0 model.)

T0 at whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, WILLIAM D. LAUER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Closet-Seat Oovers,of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to'a temporary cover for water-closet seats.

The cover is of such a nature that after use it may be done away with.

I will describe a cover embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in a claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top' plan view of a seat-cover embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cover in position on a closet-seat, the closet-seat also being in cross-section.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both of-the figures.

A represents a seat of a closet-bowl. It is provided with the usual opening, the wall of which may be straight or curved.

B represents a temporary cover for the seat A. It is preferably made of perishable material or materials, so that after its use it may be done away with. I preferably employ paper. The cover is here shown as being in two pieces b b. The piece b is adapted to conform to the contour of the seat A and the centrally-arranged piece I) to the wall of the opening in the seat A. The piece I) is provided with an opening, and it may be provided with cuts or slits in order-that it may moreeasily adapt itself to the wall of the opening. The piece I) is of one thickness of paper and the piece I) of a-different thickness. Preferably tissue-paper will be used for the piece 1) and a thicker paper for the piece 19, though both pieces I) b maybe of the same thickness. The tissue-paper is secured to the piece I) by pasting or otherwise. If desired, the two pieces I) b may each be in several sections which are suitably joined ,together.

The covers may be arranged in pads and suspended in any desired manner, so that a cover maybe torn 01f from the pad. Instead each cover may be provided with a tongue o in order that it may be suspended from a hook or nail. pended from the same hookor nail.

What I claim as my invention is- A cover for closet seats comprising two pieces of paper of relatively different thick- Several of such covers may be susnesses, one piece-being of tissue-paper and secured. to the under side of the thicker piece and both resting upon theseat and each having an opening of different size, the upper thicker piece,- formed with an opening conforming to that in the seat, the thinner piece having a smaller opening andbeing adapted to extend downward and to conform to the wall of the closet-seat opening.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the .presenceof two, subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM D; LAUER.
